Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Plymouth is seeking to fulfil a public procurement contract for "British, European and International standards" under the services category. The procurement process, which was initiated as a tender, has reached the award stage, with an active contract awarded to BSI Standards Limited. The contract, valued at £40,023.01, was signed on 4th November 2021, and the procurement method employed was a limited negotiated process without the publication of a contract notice, primarily due to the exclusive rights associated with BSI membership for accessing the relevant standards.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the education and services sector, particularly those offering standardisation solutions and consultancy services. Companies with expertise in education support services or those who can provide unique offerings related to British and European standards could find this an ideal opportunity to engage with the University of Plymouth through future tenders or contracts. Given the nature of the procurement, businesses that can demonstrate innovative approaches or an extensive understanding of intellectual property rights may be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future procurements.
